Mom, Teach Me

Mom, Teach Me
by Jackson (9)

Mother, teach me to be adventurous,
             like a diver exploring the deep deep sea.
Mother, teach me bravery,
             like a man fighting a dragon at night.
Mother, teach me confidence,
             like the president doing a grand speech.
Mother, teach me to be cooperative,
            like a soldier obeying a general.
Mother, teach me to be humorous,
            like a clown in a parade.
Mother, teach me loyalty,
            like a prince bowing before a king.
Mother, teach me to be proud,
            like a general of America after winning a war.
Mother, teach me responsibility,
            like a child telling the truth after breaking a pot.
Mother, teach me to be thoughtful,
            like a person giving someone else a new pair of shoes.
     Mother teach me.
     Love You Mom

Little Girls

Little Girls

God made the world with its towering trees,

majestic mountains and restless seas,

then paused and said, “it needs one more thing –

someone to laugh and dance and sing,

To walk in the woods and gather flowers,

to commune with nature in quiet hours.”

So god made little girls with laughing eyes

And bouncing curls,

with joyful hearts and infectious smiles,

enchanting ways and feminine wiles,

And he’d completed the task he’d begun,

He was pleased and proud of the job he’d done.

For the world when seen through a little girl’s eyes,

greatly resembles Paradise.

i am a mom

I am a mom

I am a mom

And I love so deeply

Hourly daily I count my blessings meekly

I’ll never know if I did things right

But that doesn’t discount when I held you that night

Your eyes they remind me

that my purpose is greater

So I continue to fight and remain your slayer

I slay the evil that surrounds

I empower your worth with my love that abounds

I am the foundation that you can stand upon

And I’ll take your hand and guide you along

I am your mom

And I love you so deeply
